In general, are programs that store passwords safe?
The reason I was curious is because it provides a feature that saves the SSH password and allows me to not have to enter the password the next time I connect through VLC. If someone else gets access to my physical device (computer, smartphone, etc.), can they get these passwords?
In my opinion, since 'plain text' must be entered to ultimately connect to SSH, a hacker will be able to obtain this password. (Because it is stored somewhere as 'plain text', or the encrypted text must be instantly decrypted and entered into the SSH connection logic through memory)
Additionally, I think that the 'Save Password' function provided by browsers (Edge, Chrome, FireFox) will be enough to obtain passwords if a hacker gets the device. Is this right?
